For me, 2.1.89 goes very well, unexpectadly well for a 2.1 kernel.While all kernels before 2.1.7x simply hung after several hours, morerecent ones did work but at some moment they started to swap like madand became nearly unusable, .89 is working for a few days here and seemsOK. Several days uptme on a dual Pentium w/32M RAM, and now 16+ hourson a 486 w/16M [keyboard port burned out on my new MB :-( ], withloadaverage of 10 it is still quite usable (knocking the wood).
